Since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump has turned foreign policy upside down, sending waves of shocks in financial markets and turning the Oval Office into an office that “occurres”.

Here are ten of the pivotal moments in the first 100 days of his second term as president:

January 20: A series of laws

Trump signed 26 ordinances on his first day at the Oval Office.

His first act set the tone, pulling the United States out of the World Health Organization and pardoning the mob who invaded the U.S. Capitol four years ago.

February 4: Trump proposes Gaza acquisition

During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the Gaza Strip, which suffered a war with more than 2 million Palestinians, could become the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

He announced a plan to allow the United States to control the territory to redevelop the territory and expressed his hope that the Palestinians could evacuate from the territory, which aroused international anger.

February 12: Trump, Musk, Musk meet

Trump’s billionaire Ally Elon Musk and his young son joined the president’s press conference in the Oval Office.

Musk led federal cost-cutting efforts through the so-called Doge – dismissing criticism of the lack of transparency and possible conflicts of interest.

His son X – full name X x a-xii – trembled in his speech.

February 12: Trump brings Putin from the cold

Trump ended years of diplomatic quarantine for Vladimir Putin and held a 90-minute call with Russian leaders.

On February 28, the second conference call and several US-Russian conferences were excluded. So far, the settlement has led to two prisoner exchanges between the two countries.

February 14: Vance’s speech Europe

At the Munich Security Conference, Vice President JD Vance shocked European leaders, working to limit freedom of speech, told them to “strengthen” the defense and criticized them for immigration.

His wide-edge and others who started with the Trump administration said ending the old transatlantic certainty about U.S. support for Europe.

February 28: Zelensky humiliates

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was verbally attacked by Trump and Vance, who condemned him for insufficient support for us at a tense meeting before the White House cameras.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer posted on social media: “Trump and Vance are doing Putin’s dirty work.”

March 7: Trump pursues college

The Trump administration accused several universities of allowing pro-Palestinian protests and demonstrations on campus, condemning war in the Middle East.

Demonstrators hung Palestinian flags outside the U.S. White House during a Palestinian state march in Washington, while calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on November 4, 2023.

It cuts $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University as the institution faces ongoing harassment from Jewish students.

Recently, it has frozen $2.2 billion in federal funds to Harvard, threatening to deprive it of tax-free status as a nonprofit, after it refused to take action to accept government oversight.

March 15: Massive expulsion to El Salvador

The Trump administration uses an obscure wartime law to prove the deportation of more than 200 suspected gang members to high-security prisons in El Salvador.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spoke during a visit to the terrorist lockdown center (CECOT) as prisoners stood looking out from the cell in Tecoluca in El Salvador on March 26, 2025.

The incident has been handed over to the Supreme Court under the challenge of the court. The executive refused to back down, and a federal judge now said there was a “probable reason” to ignore the possession orders of the eviction case in order to view the court.

March 26: The United States should take over Greenland

Trump doubled in his December comments that the United States needed Greenland and refused to rule out the force of Vance and his wife visiting there two days ago.

“We need Greenland to be able to do international security and security,” he said. “We have to have it.”

Danish leaders responded quickly, and Vance did not meet with members of the Greenland Society, thus limiting their access to the U.S. military base there.

April 2-9: Trump begins a tariff war

On April 2, Trump announced huge tariffs on countries around the world, accusing them of taking advantage of the United States.

By April 9, the day his tariffs would take effect, Trump made a partial climb. In 90 days, he lowered tariffs on most global imports to 10%, while China’s tariffs on many imports soared to 145%.

The crisis shocked the world market, issued the price of gold and reached the value of the US dollar.
